The veneer hammer doesn’t look quite right for delicate operations on thin veneer stock, but it works, and works well. To use this traditional cabinetmaker’s tool hold the handle with one hand, place the other on the head, and guide, using the handle to move the 35/8" wide face across the veneer. The pressure and movement do a great job of pushing out both air and extra glue from beneath the surface. Overall hammer length is about 12".

Hammer veneering is sort of a lost art. It is a great way to work with materials that would we extremely cost prohibitive if solid materials were used. In addition you can also utilize the dimensional stability of man made materials (plywood/MDF) to layout designs that would not hold up to wood movement. Hammer veneering is tricky, but fun to do. You don't need to spend a fortune on a vacuum press or work with extremely toxic glues either. This hammer is one of the best I have seen. The head is perfect and the balance is terrific.
